3 Foreword In times of slow growth, the ATM world traditionally prepares for busier times, and this is exactly what we are seeing now. New implementation projects designed to meet the challenges of Reference Period 2 of the performance scheme are being created at the interface between operations and research. Centralised Services will be one of the main topics in the coming years, and as you browse through our courses you will notice that many of the areas which will potentially be addressed by centralised services are already in our portfolio. In this training brochure, we maintain a themed approach; where possible we group our specialised courses into training programmes designed to give you the insights you need into such themes as Flight Efficiency, Network Performance and ATM Regulation. This year we will pay more attention to our services and tools like ELPAC, FEAST, RST and Training Zone. We hope to welcome you here or to teach a course at your premises in Wherever it takes place, an ATM course is always an opportunity to share knowledge as well as to network with fellow ATM experts.

12 Registration IANS CLASSROOM COURSES Requests for course participation are made by submitting an online course registration request form (form: Course registration requests should include as much of the requested information as possible. This will enable places to be allocated in accordance with the policies for priorities agreed by EUROCONTROL Member States. For organisations with a Focal Point The form should be submitted to the National Focal Point-see below for more details. For individuals or organisations that do not have a Focal Point, the course registration request form and/or requests for further information about our classroom training courses may be submitted directly to the Institute s Course Reservation Office. Registration requests submitted by individuals are usually subject to a tuition fee; contact the Institute s Course Reservation Office for more details. Notification of course confirmation Eight weeks before the start of the course, the Institute s Course Reservation Office sends a confirmation to the course participant and the National Focal Point. The contains useful information about getting to the Institute and details of any preparatory work that should be completed a few weeks before the course starts. In addition a reminder is sent 10 days before the start of the course. National Focal Points National Focal Points act as local representatives of the Institute, providing a source of information about our training, and will often be able to answer a wide variety of questions about the training that is available and related issues. Some States have nominated more than one Focal Point, each representing a particular group or organisation. Details of all National Focal Points are available at ( If you are unable to take up an allocated place on a training course Demand for places on our classroom training courses exceeds availability. Because of this, course participants who have been allocated a place but are unable to attend are asked to notify the Institute s Course Reservation Office as soon as possible through the National Focal Point. Early notification that an allocated place will not be taken up will enable the Course Reservation Office to re-allocate the place if at all possible. As with a course registration request, notification that an allocated place will not be taken up should be forwarded to the Course Reservation Office by the National Focal Point to ensure that both your own organisation and the Institute are fully informed. Accommodation in Luxembourg There is a wide range of hotels available in Luxembourg which are conveniently located for those visiting the Institute. Further details about the location of local hotels can be found through the Institute s web site at For more information and registration: 12

13 Registration EUROCONTROL has negotiated preferential rates with many of the local hotels. To benefit from this special arrangement you should specify the appropriate booking code when you reserve your hotel accommodation. The relevant National Focal Point can provide the necessary booking code. If you do not have a Focal Point and wish to take advantage of the preferential rates, where they are available, please contact the Course Reservation Office by at ians.reservation@eurocontrol.int.

21 Flight efficiency training programme The Flight Efficiency Training Programme is a selection of courses designed to support the Flight Efficiency Plan, the common EUROCONTROL/CANSO/IATA initiative which could save the airlines 470,000 tonnes of fuel each year the equivalent of 390 million and 1.5 million tonnes of CO 2. To achieve these significant savings, many actions will need to be taken by all of the stakeholders. The key action points are summarised below: Enhancement of European en-route airspace design - Implement a coherent package of annual improvements and shorter routes. - Improve efficiency for the most penalised city pairs. - Implement additional conditional routes for main traffic flows. - Support the initial implementation of free-route airspace. Improvement of airspace utilisation and route network availability - Actively support and involve aircraft operators and computer flight plan service providers in flight plan quality improvements. - Gradually apply route availability restrictions only when required. - Improve the utilisation of civil/military airspace structures. Efficient TMA design and utilisation - Implement advanced navigation capabilities. - Implement continuous descent operations (CDO), improved arrival/departure routes, optimised departure profiles, etc. Optimisation of airport operations - Implement airport collaborative decision-making. - Enhance airside capacity. - Link the airport to the network.

29 NETWORK OPERATIONS TRAINING The Network Manager (NM) aims to provide the best possible Network Operations service. This provision is based on the continuous optimisation of local and regional planning, operational procedures, associated tools and network infrastructures in full partnership with airports, ANSPs/FABs and users. This demands a high level of knowledge from the NM staff and from all partners, both in the ATC and aircraft operator communities. The Collaborative Decision-Making process also requires a high degree of shared knowledge amongst participants in order to be successful. The use of Web-Based Training (WBT) is one of the pillars of the NM training strategy, put in place to meet the demand for training and collaboration within Network Operations. NM WBT modules are equally suitable for self-study and classroom teaching. The following descriptive overview, grouped by subject, should raise the awareness of all Network Operations partners of how their work can be assisted by our on-line training provision.
